i am trying to get out the old gas in my mitsubishi eclipse by siphoning it out, but it seems like the tube doesnt want to go all the way down and go into the tank. what could be the problem? is there an easier way to get out the gas? i looked for a plug on the tank but i couldnt see one. is there a cover over the tank to protect it, and could the plug be under the cover?
i just want to find out the easiest way to get out the old gas, so if anyone knows please let me know|||should have a fuel rail on your motor by the injector it`s run on top of your motor with a screw on cap you need a special hose to tap on it and have motor running they use this port to check fuel pressure|||The tank has a rollover valve which keeps you from getting you siphon hose in. If you really need to get the gas out you could pump it out by A. Disconnect the fuel line at the filter or other convienient location, and attach a hose to it or use a drain pan to catch the gas. B. find the fuel pump relay and jumper the terminals thus turning on the fuel pump and pumping the gas out of the tank.
I have had cars with old gas and if there was less than 1/2 tank I simply put some new gas in it and then drove it all out. then filled it up and replaced the fuel filter.|||Define "old gas" ?? If you mean gas that has sat in your tank for a couple of years just add new gas on top and go. Keep adding as it gets lower and it will be so diluted it won't make any difference. ( imho ) If you mean "contaminated" gas as in water or foreign liquids/solids then yes, you should get it out. I think the simplest way would be to disconnect your fuel line. Most new vehicles have an "anti-siphon" coil in the filler hose to prevent just what you are trying to do....lol. Other than these ideas you can remove the entire fuel tank and dump it, not a job I would envy.
Being as it's only a "Mitsubishi" maybe you could just get some friends together and roll it on it's roof and let the gas run out the filler spout .............j/k ...lol.|||do it like "pumper tech" said.|||Open up the fuel line on the bottom of the car that runs from the tank. That is obviouslly a very dangerous way of doing it, but I imagin you are almost on empty, right? I wouldn't even recommend doing that, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do
